333.--THE QUEEN'S JOURNEY.

From Amusements in Mathematics by Henry Ernest Dudeney.

[Illustration]

Place the queen on her own square, as shown in the illustration, and then try to discover the greatest distance that she can travel over the board in five queen's moves without passing over any square a second time. Mark the queen's path on the board, and note carefully also that she must never cross her own track. It seems simple enough, but the reader may find that he has tripped.
